“…The Manichean populist discourses are created by the distinction between educated‐secular‐modernist‐center and native‐traditional‐periphery (see Mardin, 1973) that has become a long‐lived fertile ground for the “right‐wing populism a la Turca” (Aytaç et al., 2021; Aytaç & Elçi, 2019; Erdoğan & Uyan‐Semerci, 2020a; Elçi, 2019). Populist right‐wing political actors in Turkey such as Adnan Menderes, Süleyman Demirel, Turgut Özal, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan built their discourses on the dichotomy of secularist state that does not represent “real national values” versus religious and nationalist ordinary people (Çınar & Sayın, 2014; Sözen, 2020). For the past two decades, government party's and Erdoğan's nationalist‐populist rhetoric exceedingly hinge upon the construction of this Manichean duality between nonnative secular citizens and conservative Sunni Muslim Turkish citizens.…”

“…We believe that the history of the relationships between Turkey and Europe has brought mistrust to the West to some degree, especially among the nationalists. Moreover, Turkey is usually contextualized with a master duality: traditional-religious-provincial versus modernist-secularist-urban (see Mardin, 1973; Sözen, 2020). Turkey’s modern, secular and urban citizens (who are accused of being non-native by far-right populists) have tried to convince the world that they’re European (Western), not Asian or Eastern (Navaro, 2002).…”

“…Pensamos que la historia de las relaciones entre Turquía y Europa, ha generado un cierto grado de desconfianza en Occidente, especialmente entre los nacionalistas. Además, Turquía es generalmente contextualizada con una dualidad principal: tradicional-religiosa-provincial frente a modernista-laica-urbana (ver Mardin, 1973; Sözen, 2020). Los ciudadanos turcos modernos, laicos, y urbanos (que fueron acusados de no ser nativos por populistas de la extrema derecha sts) han intentado convencer al mundo de que son europeos (occidentales), y no asiáticos ni orientales (Navaro, 2002).…”

“…With increasing authoritarianism under the AKP government following the failed peace process in 2015 and the alleged "coup attempt" in 2016 (Sözen 2020;Erensü and Alemdaroğlu 2018;Tansel 2018), media in Turkey has suffered intensifying political pressure, financial sanctions, bans of media outlets, as well as imprisonment of media employees (Yıldırım et al 2020). In these circumstances, social media have become an important tool for receiving and disseminating information.…”
